Abort abort abort! A good lesson for us all, thanks for sharing.

A short clip from our visit to the English Lake District earlier this week. The light was fading after a 12km hike over Catbells and back down through Newlands Valley. Decided to get the drone out one last time and fly backwards away from the sun and avoiding as much of the dreaded green lens...

It's a fine line and especially in this case with the sun going down rapidly. The thing with this scene is it starts off partly in the shadows and then into back light and then into front light. The 32-8 would have been too dark as the shadows are already a bit too crushed, personally I prefer a...

I've just updated the tree POI with the full version of the video, you can get a better perspective of how well the filters work as in this version the flight carries on above the trees. I flew for another few minutes like this but the video would be way too boring!

ok thanks

Always calibrate after a crash or if anything isn't working as it should.

I prefer to carry more batteries rather than power pack. The thing with individual batteries is that you can distribute the weight better. If you have a large powerpack it has to go in your backpack, with the individual batteries you can distribute them in your pockets. When you're carrying a...

Thanks. I guess it could go in either as it's to do with the Mavic 2 and has videos. Does it really matter.

Thanks, the gradients make a lot of difference, the transition seems to be spot on with the polar pros.

Just thought I'd start a thread for the videos I produce and if anyone has any questions feel free to ask. I'm no pro but have a fair bit of experience flying in close conditions with the original Mavic Pro and now the Mavic 2 Pro. The first video was shot on a trip to the lake district, my nd...

Nice one, mine is still flying well. Looks like the IMU calibration did the job, phew!

First thing to do is an IMU calibration, you can do this from the app and is fairly straight forward.

Seems to be working ok now, certainly a lot better but only had a couple of flights. First I calibrated the sticks and that made no difference. Calibrating the IMU is what worked. The only slight thing I've noticed is if for example I fly to the left and then stop the drone stops and then over...

Also reboot your phone if you haven't already just in case.

Thanks for the tips and hopefully that's your drone sorted. I think I'll give the sensor calibration a miss unless the IMU calibration doesn't work. Last resort before sending it back to DJI!
